1. The Republican Party or the Prohibition Party--which?

Description:
Two copies of a 20 page sewn booklet containing a transcript of the address of Rev. Dr. E. B. Fairfield (ex-president of Hillsdale College) to the Young Men's Republican Club of Hillsdale, delivered on October 5, 1886, urging them to stay with the Republican Party. The speech highlights the differences between the Republicans and Democrats in regards to Reconstruction, temperance, and protective tariffs. Despite his support for their core issue, he also urges that his audience not stray into the Prohibition Party, feeling that the Republicans would better handle the issue of Prohibition rather than a dedicated party.
